`COMBINED HYDRANT AND STOP AND WASTE COCK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 17, 1907.

Application filed February 9,1907. Serial No. 356.529.

To all whom it may concern: i

`Be it known that I, WALTER R. BUNCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Weatherford, county of Parker, and State oi Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hydrant and Stop and Waste Cock, oi which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to water cocks and more particularly to stop and waste cocks and means for operating the cocks, and the object is to provide a stop and waste cock which will cut off the flow of water through the hydrant when the hydrant is turned and at the same time drain `the hydrant and also to provide a hydrant which can be used without a key for operating the stop and waste cock.

Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application and speciiication.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the hydrant and the stop and waste cock composing my invention. Fig. 2 is a broken vertical section, showing the cock in position to let out water, the device being shown connected to a water pipe. Fig. 3 is a similar view, showing the cock in position to cut ott the flow oi `water and to drain the hydrant. Fig. 4 is a plan view oi the nut which prevents the displacement of the stop and waste cock. i

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

The devices composing my invention consist oi a hydrant which is fitted into a plug 2, and the plug 2 which is screwed into a T-pipe connection 3. The plug 2 is conical below the portion 4 which is threaded to engage the threaded portion of the connection 3. This plug has a funnel-shaped recess therethrough or receiving the hydrant tip 5. The lower end of the plug carries a lug 7 integral therewith for preventing the displacement o the hydrant 1. The plug projects far enough down in the water pipe to receive water` through an intake 6. The hydrant is provided with a funnel-shaped tip 5 which conforms to the interior contour ofthe plug 2 so that the exterior of the tip will be flush with the interior of the plug to prevent leaking. The lower end 8 of the tip is threaded to receive The tip 5 has an intake 11 which registers with the intake 6 of the plug to receive water. The flow of water is stopped by turning the hydrant which carries the tip. Fig. 3 illustrates the position of the parts when the water is cut ofi. The plug 2 has a perforation 12 for draining the hydrant and the hydrant tip 5 has a peroration 13 which registers with the perforation 12 for draining the hydrant. When the hydrant is in use, that is, when water is flowing through the hydrant the perforationv 13 is turned away from the perforation 12 so that drainage will not take place. When the hydrant is turned to cut ofi the flow oi water, the perforation 13 registers with the perforation l2 and the hydrant will be drained. f

The parts are assembled by iirst screwing the plug 2 into the T-pipe connection 3. Insert the hydrant tip in the plug 2 and then place the nut 9 on the end of the tip. Then screw the nut 9 on the hydrant tip until the nut will' not turn on account of the lug 7. Then turn the hydrant tip in the nut until the nut is drawn up iar enough, following the washer 10. The nut 9 has a lug 15 which cornes to rest against the lug 7. The lug l5 rests on one side of the lug 7 when the water is flowing through the hydrant and on the other side oi the lug 7 when the flow oi water is cut oit, the lug 7 serving as a stop so that the intakes and the perforations will register` with each other. The tip 5 may be secured to the hydrant 1 in any suitable manner as by screwing the tip on the hydrant.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,-

1. A combined hydrant and stop and waste cock having a hollow plug screwed into a T-pipe connection and carrying a depending` lug, said plug having an intakey a hydrant tip screwed on said hydrant and extending through said plug and threaded on the lower end having an intake capable of registering with the intake of said plug, and a nut for preventing the displacement of said tip and having a lug adapted to engage said depending lug on either side thereof.

2. A combined hydrant and stop and waste cock having `a discharge pipe, a hollow tip screwed thereon, a plug ing with an intake of said plug and having the portion below said plug` threaded, and a nut for preventing displacement of said tip provided with a lug for engaging said depending lug on either side thereof.

3. A combined hydrant and stop and waste cock having` a discharge pipe, a plug screwed into a J2-pipe connection p and provided with a funnehshaped opening therethrough and an intake to said opening and a depending stop lug and drainage perforation, a hollow tip screwed on said discharge pipe and extending through said plug and conforming to the contour thereof and provided with an intake and a drainage perforation adapted to register with the intake and the drainage perforation of said plug, and a nut screwed on said tip and provided with a lug adapted to engage either side of said depending stop lug.

In testimony wheref, I set my hand in the presence of two witnesses, this 2nd day of February, 1907.
